"Low Life In High Places"

Mama, tell your children not to go
Down to the city, where the
desperate people go
And mama, don't let them stray
They won't find, peace of mind, in
such a lonely place
Wannabes and losers, all trying to get
a break
They don't give a damn, they'll do
whatever it takes
If they climb the ladder, they get to
play for higher stakes
That's why there's low life in high
places

Mama, things have changed since
you were young
When you scream, in the dead of
night
Now no one ever comes
And a poor man, he's cast as the
villan and a thief
See him down on the street, begging
for enough to eat

Waiting on the corner, I saw her
waiting for the man
When the limo pulled up I saw what
was changing hands
I should've tried to warn her, and
make her understand
There is low life in high places

There is low life, like you never even
knew
There is low life, and it lives in me and
you
But we don't all let it through

Don't let 'em go, you've got to have
some pity
Don't you let 'em go
You've got to keep 'em away, from
the big bad city

(SOLO)

Waiting on the corner, I saw her
waiting for the man
When the limo pulled up I saw what
was changing hands
I should've tried to warn her, and
make her understand

Mama, tell your children not to go
Down to the city, where the
desperate people go
And mama, don't you let them stray
They won't find, peace of mind in
such a lonely place
